Choices

I've got a bone to pick with McDonald's.  Yes, I went to McDonald's.  Anyway, I grabbed a Happy Meal for the kids and ordered apples with it, like I always do.  They had gotten something wrong, so I asked them to confirm my order.  They repeated it back to me and I wanted to make sure that I had apples in the Happy Meal.  I was told that they now put apples and fries in their meals.  So, I tell them, "please don't put the fries in, I don't want them."  You would have thought I had 2 heads.  They of course put apples and fries in both meals.

What the heck!?  Not that McDonald's is the best choice in the world, but I'm trying to at least cut out some garbage by giving my kids fruit instead of fries, and they won't do it!  What's the point of putting both foods in for the kids?  You completely defeat the purpose of putting in a healthy alternative when you insist on including the unhealthy fries as well.  Ugghh!
